Hi All, I am using the struts2 updownselect for getting multiple selections from user. It is populated by a list and works great as long as only one item is selected. The datatype in mysql where the field is being persisted to is a string. If one item is selected, the ID (listKey) goes into the db and when I retrieve the object for re-display in the form, that item is selected in the updownselect. Perfect! But when multiple items are selected, a comma seperated list of the selected listKeys go in the db field. The problem is when this comes back out, the updownselect doesn't display the previously selected items. I am guessing because it does not know how to interpret the comma separated list.
I am just wondering what it would take to get struts to translate the list and display the populated values. An array datatype or something? MySql doesn't have that does it? Serialize it? Doesnt sound like a good fit and I just don't know what struts is expecting when it needs to display multiple items selected. Thanks for any ideas. Nick
